Re: Automated BG Color change?

Hey Fuzzy:

In as much as you are using frames and that, in order to get the background
to change color, the frame is going to have to reload anyway. [Strange,
convoluted sentence--but I digress.] So--why not stick with plain HTML and
simply call a new page to that frame?? It would have the same content with
the new background color.

You could even have a button image with the proper color on it and an invite
to: "Click Here to Change Background to This Color" or some such. I guess
you could even have several buttons to give choices ...

Or--did I miss something here??

Best wishes
